XMLNode

XMLNode is the SAXEvent descendant connected to XMLReader internals.

This is not an attempt to implement the W3C specification directly. XMLNode instances may or may not be parts of more complex structures similar to DOM Document.

Application code must not construct instances of this class directly. XMLReader (and, thus, SAXEventEmitter) produces XMLNodes instead of raw SAXEvents.
